Cherry Blossoms & Snowball Blooms

~ Everyday Living, Faith, Monday Morning Blooms, Spring

Hello dear friends! I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful Easter weekend. The weather was absolutely perfect yesterday and the girls had so much fun hunting Easter eggs.

“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭19:14‬ ‭

It is the first Monday of the month and I am joining my friends for beautiful spring blooms. We are so glad to be welcoming back our sweet Shirley! She has certainly been missed. Next Monday, April 12 we will be sharing a special Monday Morning Blooms with a fabulous giveaway! Three Monday Morning Blooms are coming your way this month!

Early spring in the South finds many trees in full bloom…dogwoods, cherry trees, redbuds, fruit trees! I am always in awe of their beauty.

The beautiful spring floral links for Lidy, Mary, and Shirley are at the bottom of this post!READ MORE

Easter In The Country

Hello sweet friends. We are already half way through the month of March and can you believe that spring will arrive in five days?! The seasons seem to pass so quickly, but I am excited to welcome spring!

“He is not here, but has risen.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭24:6‬a

Last week we experienced beautiful spring weather with cool nights and several frosty mornings. But our days warmed into the seventies which was perfect for setting the picnic table for an Easter edition of Monday Morning Blooms with my blogging friends!

“Our Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime.
~Martin Luther

A Mini Garden In The Sunshine Cottage

Happy March sweet friends! Can you believe it is only twenty days and spring will officially begin? I think most of us are ready to welcome the new season with open arms! Sometimes March can bring bad weather to our Appalachian Foothills. The ever dreaded tornadoes are most prevalent in the months of March and April. I will never forget the worst snow storm in my lifetime that occurred on March 12, 1993. We had over a foot of snow at our house with drifts of four to five feet. We were without power and water for six days. I have certainly felt for our Southern neighbors who recently experienced snow, ice, and outages.

“Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭16:24‬

Being it is the first Monday of the month, welcome to Monday Morning Blooms with my blogging friends. We are missing our sweet Shirley at Housepitality Designs. She is taking care of her precious ninety five year old mom who is staying with her. Shirley will be back with us as soon as she can.

I am back in my little sanctuary, Sunshine Cottage, for a little bit of gardening!
